My Lord,

In reply to Your Lordship's letter of the

25th. of last February, which I referred for consideration to

the Committee of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, I have the honour to state that it considered that this Colony's

participation in the scheme shkua would be impracticable

chiefly owing to the shortness pf the time available for making the necessary arrangements.

I have etc.,

(sd.) F. D. Lugard,

Governor,&0..

Chairman of the Council of the Festival of Empire.
